The Sty

We spent a long weekend at The Sty and found it one of the best places around the UK we have stayed at!

It was immaculately furnished throughout the entire house, plenty of space in all rooms to relax over the weekend. The kitchen is amazing, lots of space to cook and entertain and never far away from anyone sitting in the living room or dining area. Bedrooms and bathrooms are lovely (and excellent high pressure showers in all the bathrooms). Lovely setting for dogs walks off the lead as well. Very pet friendly with stone floors downstairs, and a lovely small enclosed courtyard that out dog could wander around in without having to be watched. Overall - lovely property and will definitely return!

The property in itself was so lovely and decorated to a beautiful modern standard.

The communication with the host was excellent and lots of information was provided on local amenities and details about the property. We did however feel the property was a little unclean, cobwebs, quite a bit of dust and dirty crockery and glasses in the cupboards, which I imagine was from previous guests. The mattresses were also quite uncomfortable and not firm at all. Overall the stay was wonderful and we would 100% be back!

Overall the property was great.

Great size, great looking large kitchen with everything you need if self catering. Courtyard space was lovely albeit with limited seating. Everywhere was decorated and looked of a high standard and quality. With one exception.... For me what let it down was the quality of mattress in all the bedrooms. All of us ended up with terrible backache. There was just no support. The mattresses felt cheap. It would have been useful to have more details about where the dog could go for a quick walk. The road leading to the premises has no footpath and cars speed past. There is a dog walking field on the farm but this information wasn't readily available and would have been great to have this in the welcome pack/email. Recycling is also a bit haphazard with only facilities for metal cans/tins. We are used to being able to recycle everything (paper, cardboard, plastics and I hate to through this in general waste)

This is a lovely place.

Well decorated clean and tidy. The layout is good and facilities excellent. I enjoyed the walks around the estate and everyone we met were helpful and friendly A couple of addition’s would be worthwhile A kettle Larger towels

The barn is a beautiful property looks exactly like the pictures.

Perfect base for exploring. The owner is really friendly and helpful. Communication was perfect. We will definitely visit again.

It was a lovely property, just as described.

Very comfy beds and a great courtyard to relax in.

5⭐ property.

Spotlessly clean. Luxury. Very comfortable and very well equipped with all you need for your stay. We were a party of 6 adults with a small well behaved pooch and there was lots of room. Very quick response from property owners with any queries or questions!!. Would definitely recommend and will definitely return. Beautiful area to explore. Also the property is very secure with electric gates to the front. Well done all !!!

Immaculate and lovely cottage.

Immediate response to queries. No garden as such, but a very pleasant little back yard with a water feature which is perfect to hang out in on a hot day. Can’t go wrong here.

We had a fantastic two-night stay at The Sty and couldn't have been happier.

The property is absolutely beautiful—spacious, tastefully decorated, and finished to a very high standard. It had everything we needed and immediately felt like a home away from home. One of the highlights was the private courtyard garden, which was peaceful, secluded, and the perfect place to relax after a day exploring. The location is ideal too, just a short distance from the Cotswold Lakes with countless scenic walks and activities right on the doorstep. If you're looking for a luxurious, comfortable, and tranquil place to stay in the Cotswolds, The Sty is hard to beat. We wouldn't hesitate to return and would highly recommend it to anyone.

The Sty is a wonderful holiday home located in a lovely area of beautiful countryside, picturesque village’s and also very close to all the lakes.

The Sty was perfect for our weekend break.

We planned on visiting Rodmarton Manor and Avebury, each were easily accessible from Minety. We found the owner very helpful. The place was well equipped and clean.

This is an amazing property that allows dogs, the spec is very high and reasonably priced.

This was our second stay this year and would happily return again. There is an enclosed courtyard outside with a fire / barbecue built in with seating too which we also enjoyed. There are walks within the premises with additional glamping, new shepherd huts being built in lovely surroundings, it’s a wonderful area and the hosts are very friendly without being intrusive, can’t recommend enough!! Very rare for me to put such a lengthy review

A beautiful property.

Well furnished and tastefully decorated. Good communication from owners. We felt however, the property lacked homely touches. When you are paying this sort of price I feel a welcome pack of some description should be provided to enhance the stay. In most properties we stay in, we usually find an information folder, milk, biscuits, wine etc. Small touches make a difference. We also couldn't get on with the boiling water tap and ended up boiling water in a saucepan on the hob! Very annoying.

Thank you so much for a lovely stay.

We don’t get to spend much time as a family. And this is definitely what we needed. Beautiful location, beautiful home absolutely loved the decor. Amenities not too far away, plenty of space for the whole family. Thank you so much, we can’t wait to come back in the summer. Thank you again, for being fabulous hosts.

We had the most wonderful time at The sty .

It was a real haven of comfort and so beautifully decorated. My family with two dogs has an amazing stay enough room for all of us. We have stayed in the Cotswolds before . This was by far our favourite place to stay . Kind regards The Mitchell family

Absolutely stunning dog friendly property, the attention to detail is extraordinary, the host is very helpful and informative.

Can’t recommend highly enough, we are returning again soon.

Booked for my mum’s 60th birthday and couldn’t have been happier with the property - it’s absolutely beautiful!

Our only regret is not being able to stay for even longer than we’d booked for!

Beautiful rural accommodation in the Cotswolds that we stayed in over the New Year period.

The owner Karl was very helpful with a few minor niggles dealt with immediately and he was very welcoming. The property was warm, comfortable and a fabulous layout for us to eat, drink & socialise. It met our expectations and the needs of our 2 cocker spaniels. Ample parking available and we had 3 cars. Advise to use What 3 Words to find location as we drove past the entrance on numerous occasions. We had a great time, thank you. We would love to come back and stay here.

A beautifully appointed property with every care taken to provide that rare holiday experience I’ve found lacking so many times previously of over delivering in decor, presentation and quality.

This was without doubt most likely the best pound for pound holiday rental I’ve ever made in over 40 years for my family. Each space is so well appointed and supplied. The kitchen, dining and living areas contemporary and stylish. We will return.

It’s a beautiful cottage and safe for children.

Instructions were clear. We had a comfortable stay

What a fantastic property!

We took a chance booking a property with no internal photos but we were not disappointed. The property is finished to a very high standard and very well equipped. We would certainly look to stay here again as there is so much to see and do in the surrounding area.
